ACADEMY. 1. A school, college, or other educational institution.
2. A cultural institution for the maintenance or raising of standards in art, science, or language, such as the
Académie française, founded in 1634. It made such a profound impression in 17c England that the issue of whether English should also have such an institution was discussed for many years. Nothing came of this discussion. When from time to time the question of the ‘missing’ English Academy is raised, authoritarians deplore and libertarians applaud its absence. See
DEFOE,
FRENCH,
JOHNSON.
